“In June of that year Moody learned a lesson that helped transform his life and direct him into his future ministry. One of his faithful teachers was dying of tuberculosis and was greatly burdened for his pupils. Before he went to heaven, he wanted to be sure all of them were converted. The man was too weak to visit them alone, so Moody went along. For ten days, the two men visited home after home; and at the end of that time, they saw each of the children won to the Lord. When the teacher left for his widowed mother’s home to die, the entire class was at the railroad station, singing songs about heaven.”
“You can never give another person that which you have found, but you can make him homesick for what you have.”

“He walked rapidly, ate rapidly, and loved to drive fast horses. He was fond of antique furniture, books (especially biographies), travel (his church sent him to Europe and once he sailed as far as Japan), sweets, and iced drinks. His cup of coffee began as a cup of sugar, then the coffee was poured in! In spite of his mother’s pleas, Brooks continued to smoke; his ideal vacation was made up of “plenty of books and time and tobacco.”
“Daily I have asked Him to feed me from His Word, and there has always been bread in the cupboard.”
“The gospel, as a glass [mirror], should be kept clean and clear in the pulpit,” he wrote, “that the hearers may see the glory of Christ and be changed to the same image.”
“Stop having a measuring rod for other people. There is always one fact more in every man’s case about which we know nothing.”

The man who holds God’s faithfulness will not be foolhardy or reckless, but he will be ready for every emergency.”

Rather, he admonishes us to be realistic about life, accept God's gifts and enjoy them. He advises us to trust God and enjoy what we do have rather than complain about what we don't have.”
“This introduces a second reason why we must know who God is and what His name is: We were created to worship and glorify Him.”
“Because churches have gotten away from God’s wisdom and have substituted man’s wisdom, we have serious doctrinal differences among various churches. Men have gone beyond “that which is written” (1 Cor. 4:6), and this has brought division into the church.”
“finding something real are two different things. Like a child eating cotton candy at the circus, many people who expect to bite into something real end up with a mouthful of nothing. They waste priceless years on empty substitutes for reality.”
